Beginner's Meditation Course

Structured Meditation Course for
Beginners

I'll be
organising the next structured meditation course and the details are as
follows:

Starting date: 10
July 2014

Time:7.30pm – 9pm

Venue:Meditation Hall, 3rd Floor,

Chedi Dhammasathit Building, Palelai Buddhist Temple

Course Duration:12
sessions

Frequency:Every Thursday

This course is aimed at those who would want to gain an
insight into how Buddhist meditation can be applied to their daily lives to live
a peaceful & happy life, and to manage their stress arising from pressures
of work, family, ill-health, loss of loved ones etc.Attendees do not need to have prior knowledge
of the Buddha’s teachings or meditation training as the course is structured to
introduce Buddha Dhamma and breath meditation in line with the teachings of the
Forest Meditation tradition of Thailand. Instructions and course materials will
be given in English and will include applying the Buddha’s instructions on
breath meditation to develop calmness & peace of mind (samatha), and
cultivation of insight wisdom (vipassana).It follows the Buddha’s approach of gradual progression from the basic
steps on to the factors leading to enlightenment.

The course is free of charge and attendees are advised
to come in comfortable clothes (loose pants, light shirts).As the monastery is a sanctuary for celibate
monks and the practice of modesty & restraint of the senses, ladies are kindly
requested NOT to come in shorts (bermudas are acceptable), low cut blouses, or
other revealing clothing.

For
registration/enquiries, please send the completed form to kalayano@gmail.com
or call at Palelai's administration office during office hours.
